In a Twitter post from 2020, the PGA Tour official account uploaded a comparison video of legendary Tiger Woods and his then 11-year-old son Charlie Woods. Captioning the tweet “Copy Cat” with a Tiger emoji attached, the Tour had reflected upon the “unbelievable” similarities between the father-son duo.

While the video started by comparing their standing style while waiting for a shot or the way both of them constantly adjust their caps, the clip soon highlighted the similarities on the golf course between the two as well. It can be seen how both men of the Woods clan take a good amount of time before hitting the ball, angling in their clubs in a matching style, though the free flow in the hands of Tiger Woods surely exceeds that of his young son.

As the video mentions “like father like son,” both the PGA Tour Professional and his son can be seen celebrating two great shots with a fist bump. In a hilarious scene following that, where Tiger Woods and his teenage son can be seen playing together, the duo is witnessed to be moving in an eerily identical way with a matching leg movement, astonishing the golf world.

The upload overall is a combination of such moments that brought shock to the viewers in terms of how identical the two golf lovers are, on and off the course. If not for the height difference, the identification of the two from the back would be a challenge.

The golf fans could not hold back from commenting on the video. From astonishment to awe, the clip garnered all kinds of reactions from the golf viewers.

Golf fans dumbfounded but some find the comparison “stupid”

The golf fans were all in praise of the golfing duo matching in all their style and technique. Most of them could hold back their awe, despite the comical side of the video where Charlie seems to follow all the playing methods of his dad.

One viewer admired the bond between the two and revealed his future favorite golfer through the comment.

Another group of spectators reflected on how the legend is now being replaced by his own blood, carrying the same charisma as his father. They wrote:

One of the spectators was of the opinion that there is indeed greatness in the making. One couldn’t agree more!
